Is there a way to subject a PC to the justice code from a prog?
For example, an intercept prog that when PC does action X it applies the same status as, say CRIME_MUGGING?

Re: Justice Code: Making something a crime
No, but you can simulate the justice system with a program. For example, use a skill check and/or DEX and LCK, then based upon the outcome either make it work or have the PC subjected to capture. I can walk you through what that would look like in code, but does that make sense?

Re: Justice Code: Making something a crime
Yeah, that all makes sense. I was wondering if it would take something like that, but I have no idea how putting someone in jail would work as far as releases and what not, and how it all would tie in with other guard programs should you manage an escape.
Re: Justice Code: Making something a crime
Jail is kind of a mess.
Jail works on a hard code basis to govern being put there and being released from there.
Things like meals and such are soft code.
If you want to regulate jail on a more nuanced basis (like including the chance of escape), then you would probably be better served doing it using QBITs.

Re: Justice Code: Making something a crime
The escape part I was more concerned with is rather, if the PC is config +/- SURRENDER.
Is there an if check for configs to see if the PC is willing to accept punishment before getting into the checks to evade the punishment?

Re: Justice Code: Making something a crime
There is no coded check for that CONFIG, no.

This all gives me a good foundation to go forward with, thanks!
